Grace Aldor sat outside the young Arusian girl's door for a while, hoping that tonight, the small child wouldn't cry relentlessly and keep her up for who knows how long. Kristine had known the risks and the important parts of raising a child, it wasn't hard. Well, unless you'd just been told that the heirs of a planet she'd never even heard of, were in her custody.

Not strange at all, right? She had wanted children anyways, so why was it so hard? Well, maybe it was the child didn't like her? Highly doubtful, she was a great kid during the day. She was scared of the dark? Highly possible, though Kamarana had no problem falling asleep. She probably woke up in the middle of the night or something and got scared. For god's sake though, every single outlet was just a nightlight, and the city's lights were pretty bright though, too.

Her twin brother, Junior, didn't have many problems, at least none that would keep him up at night. They may have only been three months old, but she could tell which one would be more of the problem.

After five am, Grace resigned from her post at the door, and made herself a cup of coffee. Returning upstairs, leaning against Kamarana's door, hearing nothing, she was satisfied to fall into a light nap, almost ready to face the day.

"Mommy, why are you asleep?" the small three year-old's fingers grasped on to Grace's, and she bolted up. Sure enough, both twins had gotten out of bed to go and find her.

"Kam, hon, it's..." glancing over at the clock, it revealed it was...

"Oh my god, Kam it's seven o'clock! Lord, go get dressed!" Grace didn't get much sleep these days, either it was both twins waking her up at five to watch cartoons or having to work the late shifts. Those didn't go well, so she often hired a babysitter until she got back, and then collapsing on the couch as soon as both children were safely in bed, and were sleep.

After she heard the little feet patter back to her door after she had gotten dressed herself, she opened it to find both of them again, holding their shoes up. She sighed, as neither of the twins had learned to tie their own shoes just yet, and Kamarana usually couldn't zip up the back of her own dress, and neither could do buttons.

"Go downstairs, I'll be right there." she said, hopping into a pair of shoes and grabbing on of her purses, and running a comb through her red hair. Racing down the steps three at a time, (Grace was pretty sure she broke a heel) she gave them both lunch, and hurried them outside, locking the door behind her. Strapping them both in to their car seats, she drove off even before she managed to jam her own seat belt on. After she'd dropped both children off at the local daycare, she drove off, hoping she'd make it for her schedule at the office.

"I want to enroll in the flight academy."

Laying down a pamphlet on the counter, the eleven year old Kamarana smiled widely at her foster mother, who took a glance at what had excited her so much.

"No."

"What? But mom, it's like, you know, the best course there is! You wanted me to get out more and here's the solution!" Kamarana whined. "It's going to be the best thing that ever happened to me!"

Rolling her eyes, Grace picked up the pamphlet reculantly. Grace didn't necessarily hate the course, she'd taken it for the three years it required. Though, none of it was put to good use when she'd been handed these children eleven years ago. If they were seriously thinking of keeping her and her brother here for the rest of their lives, it wasn't going to happen with that. Kamarana was too stubborn to give on anything unless she'd truly lost. Junior just did what she did.

"No."

"But mom-"

"No buts. Maybe if you get your grade up in school, I'll consider it..."

"REALLY!?"

"Yes."

"YES! J, come help me study, I'm going to that flight academy!" on her way upstairs, Kamarana dragged her twin brother up the stairs and into her room. Kristine could hear the books falling on the floor and sighed. If she did go to that flight academy...well, it would definitly be interesting. Grace had never really gotten the chance to see what Kamarana was truly capable of. Maybe this would give her that one glance into her life away from home.

But the thought loomed over her. Grace was supposed to take custody of Kamarana and Junior until they were at least 18, at the very least. At a flight academy boarding school, she was supposed to intrust these children's safety at...well, to the children themselves. The school would do what they could, but Kamarana would manage to cause a bit of trouble. It was just in her nature.

Sighing with frustration, she went back to preparing dinner, mulling over what she'd do. To stop Kamarana and Junior from going , or to encourage them to go. It had been eleven years, but Grace still hadn't got the hang of parenting.

She highly doubted that she would..

~.~

When both children had dissapeared of the grid, Grace and her fiancee sort of freaked out. Grace called the flight academy over and over again, they hung up missing posters, asked around. When they got no answers, Grace refused to stop looking. Kidnapping was a huge possibility. But knowing what she knew, Grace highly believed it would be...what was that one word again? A Drule, Kam and her brother must've been kidnapped by one of them. It would make the most sense. Who else would want a normal seeming fifteen year old? And by seeming, and in the princess and prince of an otherworldly planet?

Drules, that was who.

But they probably already knew. But did that keep Grace from worrying?

No, of course not. She'd raised them after all. And after fifteen years of parenting two unpredictable teenagers, well, you sort of get used to them.

The house was so empty now, every memory of them fading away..

But it would be okay. Grace would make it okay, knowing that whatever happened, they'd be reunited with their real parents.

Some day.
